mfoke and Be Glad
;. • Do.you remember when' you were first studying history,
and how you wished you could have lived in the exciting
diays, when the whole face of the world changed overnight?
It is those day's in which we live today.
, *.. We do not sense the greatness of the hour because it is
top near. We do not fully realize our opportunities because of
our Absorption with the limitations in our accustomed manner' of living. We are face to face with anguish and , with
Heartbreak. Few of us but have someone near and dear to us
in.uniform. To but few of us does not the shrill ring of the
telephone or the sharp knock upon the door bring a sickening,
if momentary, fear.
We are living in a tragedy, and dressing it up in bunting
does not disguise the fact. We cannot escape the change the
events of today will make in our entire life. But—tragedy:
Has, its compensations. An English teacher I once had said-r
"Tragedy is always great and epic. Comedy is made by man
—r-but tragedy makes men."
If this be tragedy—and an entire world war is tragedy
y-then what is there at which to rejoice?
Tragedy is sorrow, but it is also opportunity. You of the
flood-lands—when the river receded, much that was good was
gone; but so were shacks and slums. You of the tornado
country—when the high winds struck, good was destroyed,
£jit many buildings that were eyesores went too. You of the
cpagtS:—when the hurricane leveled your shores, what did you
rebuild? Out ol; devastation, whether it be flqod, wind or war,
' arises the opportunity to rebuild, and to rebuild upon a firm
■foundation—to discard the evil and to reinforce the good.
' . _ We have the opportunity of the ages before us. Once this
war is won, we can make, on the ashes of the, old, a new-
world; retaining the good, the progress that men have made,
and leaving behind us the prejudices, hatreds, misunderstand-
- \. ings-^-alT the false bar?ie2-yor creed,- class or color, wk*th-
hkve created the slums of our common life.
A '-It-is this for which we are fighting. It is this hope that
is urging out'men-on the battlefronts on to unequalled feats
of daring.
a
* Friendship Between Nations
: The statesmen and diplomats may make the wisest possible plans after the war for world peace. But if the nations
hate foreign countries, and cherish aversion toward the people of foreign nations, the guns may shoot again.
-,. What is needed is such a spirit of friendship between
■nations, that there will be no desire to* fight. There are no
forts or systems of government aimed to prevent the United
States and Canada from entering into mortal combat, but
there is not the least danger that they will start such a war
between themselves, as friendship draws these countries together.
:- -"' The general attitude in most countries toward foreign
nations is one of dislike and suspicion. Our people are no
worse than the rest of the world, but many of them have always felt considerable dislike for the nations of Europe and
Asia. -When countries lie side by side as in Europe, such dislikes often become strong fears, and out of such emotions
v wars develop.
Travel in foreign countries has some tendency to create
international ties. People who have lived in foreign countries,
and have been well treated, usually form ties of attachment
to the people they have met. The great majority of people
have to live and stay at home in their own lands, so friendship can hardly become general through such contacts.
v - The more people read and know about foreign lands, the
more friendly they usually feel toward them. If you constantly read about how those foreign peoples have had to struggle
against difficulties, and how they are industrious and well
meaning folks in their home life, hostile feelings usually vanish. If ordinary sentiments could be promoted among the nations of the earth, the war peril would be lesseneA'

Remember Bob Smiley
Very many of us are interested in the campaign to help
Bob Smiley win the scholarship and war bond contest here in
Stark county. Bob now holds third place in that contest, and
has an excellent chance to be the winner. His chances would
be further improved, if more people ask for the blanks that
give them a chance to vote on this competition. Don't forget
Bob when you get a chance to vote. He is a most admirable
and worthy young man, and will make good userof any prize
he wins; Probably many people who would like to see him the
winner have failed to make use of them. Don't let him be defeated, as the result of your too active forgettery.
Let us remember that we should be constantly buying
war bonds which are needed to help the government, back up
the soldiers, and prevent disaster for future years, and when
you buy them don't forget to back up your favorite.
Seventeeners Can Enlist
The announcement that boys 17 years old can now enlist in the army reserves, if consent of parents is obtained,
for call to service after they become 18, stirs a great number
of these'youths. Many of them will be eager to take this step,
*&nd. get into active service as soon as possible.
■ Some parents will say their boys are too eager for adventure, and the chance to see new scenes. They are showing
about the same spirit that was manifested by the early
settlers of- our country and the pioneers of the Western
states. If .the-people in those old days had all been content
to settle dqwh?8i£-theilr'quiet home life and not look for new
life andrexperiencesi'-bur country .would, still be undeveloped:
At a special called meeting of
the North Canton village counci
Saturday morning Roy Wenger was
appointed by Mayor Guy Price to
fill the vacancy on the council
caused by the death of John Shook
late in January. The other members of the council approved the appointment.
At the same meeting Henry Ginther, council member who was
placed in office at the last election
turned in his resignation, effective
immediately. Mr. Gihther has been
moved to Jackson, Mich., with the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. A
successor has not yet been named
to fill his place.

Hoover Co. employees and
guests filled the main court-
j'ard of the concern to overflowing Tuesday afternoon
when they were presented
with the coveted Army-Navy
"E" award for their outstanding record in war production.
Countless others, unable to attend the ceremony, heard the
account of it over WHBC and
the Mutual Broadcasting Co.
as the speakers voiced a challenge to the Axis.
Fulton Lewis, Jr., master
of ceremonies for the occasion
opened the program with a
brief comparison of free
American workmen, giving every effort they could for the
war to the fear-driven slaves
of Germany who worked only
under force.
Commander B. O. Matthews,
crnmi-indei- of the naval ordnance
plant in Canton explained to the
assembly just how important was
this award which thev had earned.
He told how tne "E" had original-
y stsited with the gun crews who
earned "E" to paint on their guns
and wear on their clothes when
they had dcr.e an exceptionally fine
job; how this custom .had spread to
ether units, until it finally stood
for the highest endeavor and stood
simply for "well done," the highest
prmse a navy man can earn.

Because they are working with the above slogan in mind Hoover
Co. employees have won for themselves the Army-Navy "E" award,
medal of honor for war workers. The slogan, "It all depends on me"
originated in England and has rapidly gained favor wherever it has
been1 adopted. Each employee, realizing his own responsibility, is more
ready to do- everything he can to win the war. Tha huge letters of the
New opening hours will be observed in three North Canton stores
starting next Monday morning.

Young Arr.eiica is on the battle-

less is young Ameiica on the bond
front for America at home.
In Stark county some of the best
bond salesmen today are those
twenty scholars v/ho are competing
for that college scholaiship in the
bond quiz program. Even though
they may not personally be urging
friends to buy bond?—arc! some of
them are doing just that—they are
serving as an immediate reason
for the purchase of bonds.
Some folk= find it rather hard to
vision buying bonds for something
which they cannot see—and that is
what the war still means to them.
For them it is much easier to buy
a bond and cast their votes to help
a neighbor boy or girl to win a college scholarship. And that is why
these boys and girls are serving a
purpose with their effort in the
contest.
The more bonds that are purchased—the more votes- that are
